Stendhal

To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.

Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn’t argue with that; I’m right and I will be proved right. We’re more popular than Jesus now; I don’t know which will go first — rock and roll or Christianity.

I believe in everything until it’s disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it’s in your mind. Who’s to say that dreams and nightmares aren’t as real as the here and now? Reality leaves a lot to the imagination.

Jesus was all right, but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It’s them twisting it that ruins it for me.

Methuselah lived to be 969 years old . You boys and girls will see more in the next fifty years than Methuselah saw in his whole lifetime.

I don’t know if God exists, but it would be better for His reputation if He didn’t.

Each step along the Buddha’s path to happiness requires practising mindfulness until it becomes part of your daily life.

Children, Fear God; that is to say, have an holy awe upon your minds to avoid that which is evil, and a strict care to embrace and do that which is good.

A man who is good enough to go to heaven is not good enough to be a clergyman.

In order to fulfill yourself, you have to forget yourself. In order to find yourself, you have to lose yourself.

Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others.

No snowflake ever falls in the wrong place.

God is a concept by which we measure our pain.

A man is but the product of his thoughts; what he thinks, he becomes.

If anything is worth doing, do it with all your heart.
